I lost count of how many times I watched this video. I really like it when you tell your story of how you got here as a maker.
Thanks for being always so supportive and positive and a great friend to me!
I have so enjoyed seeing Verbena being created.
I'm so glad! 😀
Hi from Carmel Valley, California. My name is Vernon. I love your French polishing.
Hello 😊
Love the finishes on the instruments. You patiently work the stain, patina looks beautiful
Thanks Laura ❤️ I love to take the time to get the result that I am dreaming ✨
Perfect!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!
Thankyou for all these wonderfull vidios! I learn a lot from you, and not just violin making!
Happy to hear that! 😊❤️🌎
Hi Sofia. When applying nail polish, you don't use a brush, only a tampon? Thank you.
Yes, correct
Come stai? È perfetto! Please excuse my Italian, I’m just learning. I have naturally picked up a few words from my musical background, but I wanted to commend you Sofia!
Have you flamed the back?
Tutto bene 😊 🇮🇹 the back is naturally flamed and it is a gorgeous piece of maple 🍁
thankyou for the vid. how do you deal with the oil that comes to the surface after a few days? or am I using to much? I only add several drops to my pad. Thanks for your time
That is a great question!
I add a little bit of oil at the beginning.
A the latest stage of French polishing I don’t apply oil anymore and the cloth with get first white and then yellow! It is incredible. You are just taking back all the oil and so it will come on the surface in the future.
It is a skill that requires time as it is pretty easy to burn into the varnish!
If you are interested I shared all my method in this course:

Let me know what do you think!
Is that shellac? And mineral oil? Orlinseed? Do you mix jet dust into the varnish or no? Thank you for fastenating technique. Why is this better than applying by brush? Linseed and damar or what are you using?
Great questions! Is is my varnish diluted with alcohol. I like the velvet finishing French Polish gives to the instrument. It is very pleasing to see and touch
You make f/p look so easy. I’m sure it is not.
You are right! Doing it for 25 years makes it look easy 😊 but the soon you start learning the faster you will go to mastering it!!!
French polish is too fragile for my violins.
Sorry to hear that!
It’s already looking beautiful!
🥰
Swab = tampone in inglese 😊😊
Perfect!!!!
It's very cool how you french polish and talk while looking at the camera. 2nd nature!
I never thought of that! And yes it is truly second nature to me ❤️❤️❤️ my hands are my eyes!
I am fascinated by the finishing technique. I've never heard of French polishing. I struggle a lot with putting a finish on the furniture I make. Sometimes I have ruined a piece by putting a terrible finish on it. I will look up your website and take a lesson. Thank you!
I am sure you will LOVE it. The class is called
Introduction to French Polish and I am teaching the technique on a piece of forniture!
It is a skill that will serve you forever as it is doing for me 😊
this is very educational. Do you do any Tripoli or Pumice Stone/ oil rubbing at all?
Good question! I was using Tripoli for a wile, then I stopped as it is cancerous 🙌
Hi! I'm watching your videos! I have a question. Is the one you applied by hand shellac? Is the one you applied by gluing varnish?
Hi dear! Great question! Yes it is shellac based 😊
Great question! Yes, it is a shellac based!
Have you decided whether you will use boxwood or ebony for the pegs, chin rest and tailpiece? My tailpiece on my antique violin has a mother of pearl flower inlay. It’s beautiful. My boxwood pegs have bobbles on the end of the pegs, unlike the ebony ones on my antique one, which are just rounded.
❤❤❤
Wow! What a beautiful set up you have!!!
This violin will be special and will have new materials , following the willingness to replace endangered wood species ❤️🌎
